Oracle 9i and Oracle Forms 6i in 2 different Oracle-Homes

My OS: Windows XP
First I installed "Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0" with Oracle-Home-Path "OraHome92".
Then I wanted to install "Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2", because I need to use the Form Builder. I wasn't able to install this in the same Oracle-Home, so I installed it with a new one called "oradev". Now my Oracle Installation-Folder looks like this:
-oracle
---admin
---ora92 (comment: HOME 0)
---oradata
---oradev (comment: HOME 1)
Working with the database directly works fine, with Enterprise Manager I created a user, database and my first tables. No problems there.
But now I do have a problem: When I try to connect to my database with Form Builder, I get the following error message:
ORA-12154: TNS:Der Dienstname konnte nicht aufgelöst werden.
In english it should be this:
ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name.
I guess the problem might be the two different oracle-homes?!??
Does anybody have an idea how I can connect to my database with Form Builder?

How can I do that?Use Oracle Net8 Easy Config utility (Windows menu).
I try to connect with the user I created with
Enterprise Manager.When you connect to DB you use a username, a password, and a connection string. The last one (a TNS alias) is necessary because you're working in a different Oracle Home, it's the same as you were on a different machine.

Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite Plus Integration with Oracle ADF

Hi All,
Kindly advice if Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite Plus can be integrated with Oracle ADF based applications to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of user accounts specifically addressing to roles/priviledges and security.

Acrobat XI Windows 7 - unable to (copy and) paste form fields to a different pdf.

To maintain a consistent appearance and function in the forms I create for various departments, I copy a few form fields (text, checkboxes) from an unrelated Acrobat PDF. Then I paste those fields into a different PDF document that I am making fillable.
I do this because Acrobat does not allow setting a default for certain attributes when creating form fields, i.e. an unchecked scroll option, a default font other than Helvetica (in Acrobat 8, 9, and X). Plus it is time-saving to copy and paste fields that are the same in another PDF, like name, address, phone. etc.
We just updated to Acrobat XI and Windows 7 and now I cannot paste copied fields onto a different PDF.
Using "replace pages" is not applicable as I am pasting to an entirely different form and copying form fields with the settings I use.
Is this a glitch or is something new that was not in Acrobat 8, 9, and X?
Also, question regarding this forum entry - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5638333#5638333 - which is somewhat different from my current question.
The PDF creator could not paste copied fields on other pages of the same PDF. Was this ever resolved so that copy and paste worked as it has for the last 3 versions of Acrobat?
Thanks!
Joanie

Gilad: You're right: when the fields are different, such as a checkbox and a text field, and you try to title them the same, Acrobat gives you a message. I received no messages, the field names are not the same or I missed one and Acrobat is no longer messaging about it.
My question is different. Acrobat XI will not let me paste any field copied from a different PDF. I've been doing that for 5 years in three different versions. Maybe Acrobat XI has a new process for that, which I could not find in Acrobat help. Maybe it's because all forms now have extended rights automatically in Acrobat XI and there is another method to copy common fields to other PDFs.
Any thoughts about the new Acrobat XI? It's different in many good ways, but different.
Thanks for your ideas.

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

Steps to UTF-8 Encoding with Oracle 8i and Weblogic 6.1SP1

What are the Steps to UTF-8 Encoding with Oracle 8i and Weblogic
          6.1SP1?
          I have:
          - Oracle 8.1.5 database created with character set=UTF8 and national
          character set=UTF8
          - Weblogic 6.1SP1 without any encoding mechanism set
          (though I did play with
          <jsp-param><param-name>encoding</param-name>
          <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
          </jsp-param>
          in the weblogic.xml for a while though it seemed not to make a
          difference)
          - JSP pages set to content='text/html; charset=UTF-8'
          - JSP form POSTs set to enctype="UTF-8"
          I can copy and paste Chinese Kanji from a UTF8 encoded web page into
          form text boxes but when I post the data it comes back as different
          Kanji. Then once it is posted the Kanji stays the same on repeated
          posts. The same Kanji text also looks different when viewed in a form
          text box than when viewed as straight text on the page.
          Is there anything else? Or am I already encoding characters twice?
          Please help!
          Mel Christie

Install Oracle8i Personal and Dev2k on same machine in following steps
1. Install Oracle Personal
2. Install Dev2k (Include SQL Net) and restart the computer
3. Find file tnsnames.ora
4. Locate string "TCP-Loopback" in tnsnames.ora
5. Change it with some other name and remember it.
6. In the regarding entry (few lines below) specify oracle SID
7. If you dont know you ORACLE-SID find it in init.ora file
8. Go to command prompt and write 'lsnrctl'
9. A propmpt will come write 'start'
Note:
1. If you are Installing Dev-2k on a client machine and Oracle server is running on any other machine then Do steps-1,8,9 on server and rest on DEV-2k Machine.
2. If bad-command occurs on 'lsnrctl' then try to find out the similar exe file in ORACLE_HOME\bin directory and write that name

Oracle ODBC and DAO extremely slow

Hi
I'm using Microsoft DAO 3.6 with an Oracle ODBC connection (version 9.2) in an VB6 application.
Opening an updateable dynaset is extremely slow, I have measured the performance with Oracle ODBC, Microsoft Oracle ODBC and Microsoft SQL-Server ODBC as follows:
Oracle ODBC: 1952 ms
MS Oracle ODBC: 360 ms
MS SQL-Server ODBC: 40 ms (connection to a MS SQL-Server)
If I use the SQLpassthrough option the result is about 10 ms in all 3 cases, but the dynaset is readonly !
The testing program is as follows:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function timeGetTime Lib "winmm.dll" () As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim wsdata As DAO.Workspace
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim dbconn As String
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim start As Long
dbconn = "ODBC;DSN=AdhocitORA;UID=adhocit;PWD=adhocit;"
Set wsdata = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
Set db = wsdata.OpenDatabase("", False, False, dbconn)
start = timeGetTime
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Select * from Afdeling", dbOpenDynaset)
rs.MoveLast
rs.MoveFirst
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
MsgBox "Time " & timeGetTime - start
End Sub
Is there any setting in the Oracle ODBC, that need to be adjusted ??
Erling

Why are you doing a moveLast followed by a moveFirst? That's going to force Oracle to retrieve all the records in the recordset. If there are a lot of records, you'll probably see a benefit if you increase the prefetch in the Oracle ODBC DSN configuration.

Oracle AS and Oracle 9i Client on the same server

Hello,
We have a Window 2000 server with Oracle 9i Client. A number of applications running on this server relies on Oracle 9i Client. Could I install Oracle AS on the same machine without causing any problems to the applications using Oracle 9i client?
Thanks
Slava

Oracle software is multi home aware - which means you can install 10 different Oracle products and versions, each in its own unique Oracle Home directory, and switch between and run all 10 different products - even at the same time (assuming sufficient resources on the platform).
You cannot "+consolidate+" different Oracle Homes - it is an unwise thing to do. The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) has the means to determine when installing a new product, whether or not you have the option to install into an existing Oracle Home.
And with OUI you also have the means to uninstall products in which case you can remove the corresponding Oracle Home from your platform.
Note though that despite multiple homes, certain configuration files will be shared (e.g. +/etc/oratab+ on Unix systems). In such a case you may need to manually update such a configuration file after removing an Oracle Home from your system.
Oracle XE sports its own installer (setup.exe on Windows) - so it does not use OUI. But it is multi-home aware - and can co-exists with other Oracle products in their specific Oracle Homes.

Diff between oracle linux and oracle enterprise linux?

hi all,
i am new to this flavor of Linux. I know oracle linux has red hat source, but i am confused about the difference betweek oracle linux which comes in versions 4 (upto update 8) and 5 (latest update being 5).
i need to install oracle enterprise linux at a client place, so i gota know the difference.
Should i be installing oracle Linux first and then run the rpm of "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel"? or is the "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" only for customers who require this kernal on oracle linux update 5 x86_64?
thanks

waldorfm wrote:
From what I understand Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) is a rebranded version of Red hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Oracle Linux (OL) is OEL plus Oracle optimization and custom, newer kernel. OL with Oracle "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" is available as x86_64 only and was introduced based on OEL or RHEL 5.5.
You can install OEL 5.4 and easily upgrade to OEL 5.5, PMFJI, but can you point me to docs on how to make that upgrade? The timing of this msg on the forum was exquisite, as I started looking at that just today. I have an OEL 5.4 installation and would much rather upgrade to 5.5 than to have to rebuild from scratch.
I did a yum install kernel with the 5.5 version of the public-yum-el5.repo. That went without a hitch and now reports "2.6.32-100.0.19.el5 #1" where I was 2.6.18-164.el5, but I also see
[root@myserver ~]# uname -a
Linux myserver 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5 #1 SMP Fri Sep 17 17:51:41 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@myserver ~]# cat /etc/enterprise-release
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage)
[root@myserver ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)Bottom line is that I am charged with updating the kernel to a 2.6 version newer than 19 Sep, or applying a patch for the compat_alloc_user_space() function, and am not sure exactly how to proceed from here.
if you like or start to install from version 5.5, and then install OL 5.5 by downloading the Oracle public yum repository and follow the instructions at http://public-yum.oracle.com

Installing Oracle Clusterware and TimesTen

I am attempting to setup TimesTen with Oracle Clusterware and this website "Installing Oracle Clusterware and TimesTen" says that I should "Install Oracle Clusterware 11.2.0.2" however, when I go and look for I found this page: "Oracle Grid Infrastructure Downloads" however as you can see from that page it does not have version 11.2.0.2.
Does anyone know where I can get Clusterware 11.2.0.2?
Would version 12.1.0.1.0 work for me?
Thanks,
Victor

Thanks for the info on 12.1.0.1.0 :-(
If you look at eDelivery 11.2.0.2 is not available. I guess I will have to go with setting TimesTen setup without the Grid Infrastructure (i.e. use these instructions instead - "Active Standby Pair with TimesTen In-Memory Database")

[Blog] Using VMware vROPs to monitor Oracle Database and WebLogic. Management Pack for Oracle EM, Hyperic Plugins, or Both?

This blog post provides a suggested methodology for helping users of VMware vROps/vCOps decide which of the existing solutions, the vROps Management Pack for Oracle EM and the VMware vROps Hyperic Plugins for Oracle, should be used to monitor their Oracle workloads.
It’s been a nearly a year since VMware transferred the vCOps Adapter for Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) to Blue Medora and since that transfer Blue Medora has released a number of major updates as well as rebranded it the Blue Medora vROps Management Pack for Oracle EM. Over that same period of time VMware has continued to evolve their Oracle-focused (Oracle Database and WebLogic J2EE) Hyperic agent-based plugins culminating most recently with a October 2014 update to the Oracle Database plugin that provides support for Oracle Database 12c.

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,

Forms 6i on personal Oracle 8i and polite 8i

Hi,
Does anyone have a clue about the reason I cant get to run forms 6i on personal Oracle 8i or polite 8. I keep getting an error saying no listner, althou I dont need a listner when I am using single machine. same seting was working on polite 8 and forms 6. I can run sql plus 8 fine on same machine. Please respond to my email. thanks

Forms 6 does need a listener to eb able to talk to Oracle 8i even though they are on the same machine. This is because they reside in different Oracle homes and cannot 'see' each other. The listener should be started automatically with Oracle 8i, make sure you have a TNSNAMES entry for the 8i database in your Forms Net8 Oracle Home (probably ORANT or ORAWIN9x - not sure about Windows 2000!).

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.
