Oracle Forms 10G and Java 7 ?

So, as of 13 February 2013 (https://blogs.oracle.com/java/entry/end_of_public_updates_for) there will be no more updates for Java 6. So does that mean that Oracle Forms 10g (which as far as I know only supports Java 6) applications will have to upgraded to Forms 11g to keep up with the Java updates? So if you are running Forms 10g on OAS (Oracle Application Server) does that mean also an upgrade from OAS to Weblogic?

Looks like there may be an update to fix this issue:
Patch 14825718
Description      ORACLE FORMS BUNDLE PATCH 10.1.2.3.2
Product      Developer Forms
Release      iAS 10.1.2.3
Last Updated      07-JAN-2013
From the README for 14825718
# 11782681 - APPS6 FORMS DO NOT LAUNCH WITH BETA JRE 1.7I found the above information starting here:
Re: Java 1.6 and 1.7 on same computer, which references this: FRM-92095: Oracle Jnitiator version too low
Here's a workaround which is supposed to work without installing the patch, but I haven't had time to try it:
The "Frm-92095" link above also mentions the -Djava.vendor fix but doesn't show the following steps.
After installing Java 7, open file manager and go to the directory below, double-click on this file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javacpl.exeThis opens a "Java Control Panel" window.
Click the Java tab, then the View... button.
This should open a Java Runtime Environment Settings window with two tabs: User and System.
On each tab, under Runtime Parameters, enter:
-Djava.vendor="Sun Microsystems Inc."The place I saw these instructions claim it works in IE9, Firefox 18.0.2, and Chrome 24.0.1312.57
I have not had time to try yet.

  • Doubt with Windows and Oracle Forms 10G and 11g

    Hi
    I have some doubts in installing Oracle Client on Windows.
    a)Can we install Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g client on Windows 7?
    b)Can we install Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g client on Windows XP?
    c)If we have an Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g, can it connect to a 10g Server?
    d)If we have an Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g Client, can it connect to an 11g Server?
    Please, Can any one help me in this????

    a)yes it can be installed on win7, may have some issues on 64bit systems but they're solvable
    b)11g had some problems with windows 2000, but didn't see mention of any problems on XP
    c)if you mean a database server then yes - i managed to connect 11g to an 8i database, so v10 should not be a problem. If you mean a forms/reports server..well newer forms/reports builder might not want to run old forms/reports and vice versa, but I don't see the point of operating on the same files from different versions. You can still load old form/report source files with a newer builder and recompile them to run on the new server.
    d) the "client" is effectively your web browser with a java plugin, unless I misunderstood your question. What version was a form/report compiled with should not be an issue.

  • How to read a Value from Excel Cell into Oracle Forms 10g with Java

    Did any one Implamented a Java PJC to integrate Excel on Oracle Forms 10g?
    I Open Excel Applikation.
    Open a File like c:\import_test.xls
    read a number 05 from A:1 (i get it as return value).
    Save a number in a variable in Forms 10g
    Can any one help my please?

    why don't you use webutil.
    it has package client_ole2 which allows you to have programmatic interface with excel application.
    this is especially useful if the excel to be read is available in the client.

  • Slow Problems with Oracle Forms 10g and Oracle Database 11g

    Hi, I wonder if there is a compatibility problem between Version 10.1.2.0.2 32 Oracle Forms and Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production. This is because my application runs correctly on a version of Oracle Database 10g, and when we migrated the database to an Oracle Database 11g, slowness problems came out.
    Thanks.

    We have the same issue happening with our custom forms and with some of the standard forms in EBSO. So far we have found that the form invoking a view causes ridiculous slowness in opening the form (40 mins). Using a table access has shortened the open time significantly. At this time Oracle DBAs at OOD have no clear idea why it is happening.
    we are on 11.1 database with 11.5 EBSO

  • Integration problem between oracle forms 10g and oracle report 10g

    Hi!
    I've got any error message "Unable to connect to the report server "server name"" when a oracle report is run using run_report_object in the oracle form under oracle form developer 10g. Please advise any settings are required in order to run the report. Thank you very much.
    Best Regards
    Pinga

    The report server is running as the report can be run via URL in the brower. However, it prompts out the error when it is called by oracle form using the run_report_object.

  • Forms 10g and Java 6 - Howto place the oracle .jars?

    Hi,
    I would like to compile a sample Forms Java Bean with standalone Java ( not with the JDeveloper IDE )
    and the source starts with a lot of import oracle classes in jars.
    My java install is like this:
    JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11
    Could you indicate where I should place the Oracle jar files in order to have javac to recognize them?
    Many thanks in advance

    Hi again,
    I'm not advanced enough on these topics to clarify.
    Things have changed in the meantime here.
    At the moment we are looking into using 'web_show_document' with an html page containing javascript.
    There is a discussion on the 'talk2gerd.blogspot' that indicates what to set in formsweb.cfg and forms.conf in order to use javascript.
    Still getting a browser written as a Javabean to consult entreprise documents from a Forms client would be a nice bonus.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • Popup menus in Forms 10g and Java Bean

    Hi all.
    What class in Java corresponds with popup menus(not in menu module) ?
    I know that oracle.ewt.lwAWT.lwMenu.LWPopupMenu is corresponds with MenuBar's submenu. I can find Buttons, Text Fields, Menu and other components in my Form-Applet, but I don't know how to find popup menus in forms through Java Bean...

    Hello François,
    I have created a java bean that dynamically creates a popup by left-clicking on the bean.
              Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_ITEM', 'Item' ) ;
              Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_SEPARATOR', '' ) ;
              Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_ITEM', 'Item one' ) ;     
              Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_ITEM', 'Item two' ) ;
    My problem is the layout. I want to simulate a button. I can't put the bean transparent over a button and I can't simulate a button with the bean.
    How can I add the popup functionality to a button and not only to the bean? Or any other workaround?
    Regards Pedro.

  • NLS_LANG value that suits Forms 10G and Database 11G wanted !

    I can't believe how bad is to install Oracle Database and Oracle Forms on the same Windows Vista machine!
    I had a problem in Oracle Forms 10g that prevents many items in the Form Builder menu from appearing in English Language and also prevents anything in the web-based forms runtime from appearing in English. I searched the forum for a solution and found that I have to set a NLS_LANG value in the environment variables equal to the following: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1256.
    I did this and my Forms builder looked great. Everything in english with no problems. But now what ?! The Oracle Database itself refused to connect from all clients! It refused to connect from Forms Builder, SQL Deeveloper, and even from SQL PLUS! The error given is: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified.
    It seems that what I exactly need is a NLS_LANG value that will satisfy both Oracle Forms 10G and Oracle Database 11G that both are installed on the same Vista machine. The question is: What could this NLS_LANG value be?!
    Thank you in advance

    If you have connected to the database on which the form is based, prior to running the form from the Builder, the uname and password will automatically be passed in at startup and you will not be prompted.
    If you would rather hard code a username and password, enter it in formsweb.cfg. For example:
    SYNTAX:
    userid=<USERNAME>/<PASSWORD>@<DB NAME>
    EXAMPLE:
    userid=scott/tiger@orcl
    Remember that this change will only impact runtime and have no effect on the Builder.

    "ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified"The problem is local to the Forms Home, probably in tnsnames.ora (seems that there are tabs in IMS entry name). Carefully check it.$ oerr ora 12154
    12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
    // *Cause:  A connection to a database or other service was requested using
    // a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
    // be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
    // configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a

    // *Action:
    //   - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
    //      - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the

    //        accessible.
    //      - Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
    //        connect identifier is configured in the directory.
    //      - Verify that the default context being used is correct by
    //        specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
    //        as the connect identifier
    //   - If you are using easy connect naming:
    //      - Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
    //        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
    //        (SQLNET.ORA).
    //      - Make sure the host, port and service name specified

  • How to connect oracle forms 10g with oracle 10g express database?

    Hi all,
    I have downloaded and installed oracle forms 10g and oracle database 10g express, when I open net configuration assistant to test local net service, I tested the default service (EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA) BUT THE RESULT IS "ora-28547 connection to server failed probable oracle net admin error"
    How can I solve this issue?
    My tnsname.ora is located in c:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora, and its contents is:
    # tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: c:\DevSuiteHome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    Edited by: user10228498 on Jan 21, 2011 11:37 PM

    I copied the contents of C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora and appended it to C:\DevSuiteHome\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
    and tried net configuration management to test local net service, the test was ok, thus the first problem resolved.
    but the login problem in forms developer still exist and it claims that: ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
    any ideas?

  • Displaying the Oracle Forms 10g

    Hi Everyone,
    I need help on this one.
    I am currently running Oracle Forms 10g and I want to display the Calendar object on an item in my module.
    I have attached the relevant libraries i.e Calendar and added the program units as required so in my module there are two additional data blocks that is
    DATE_CONTROL_BLOCK and DATE_BUTTON_BLOCK and I have my canvas and the DATE_LOV_CANVAS.
    What code do I had to the KeyListVal trigger to enable me to display the Calendar at runtime?

    Hi,
    Actually what I want to find out is how to include a
    Calendar in my Form Module at runtime.That wasn't your initial post's question, and what do you mean by at runtime??
    You need to have the objects you stated in your first post in the form to be able to show the calendar at runtime.
    If you have the Forms Demo read the help files they have explained everything in it. If not you can download it from [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/index.html]here

  • Calling Java Script to open a Map (Like Google Map) from Oracle Forms 10g

    Hello,
    We are on Oracle EBS rel 12, Forms 10g. We have a requirement of calling a Custom Map application (Like Google Maps) from Oracle Forms 10g.
    When the user enters the address like town, city, country etc and clicks on a button there should be a call to this Google Map like application which will pass the co-ordinates (Latittude, Longitude) to the map and shows the place on it. If the user selects a different location on this maps and closes the window the parameters co-ordinates (Latittude, Longitude) should be back in the calling form and this new location should replace the original location.
    I appreciate if I can get some help for the above requirements.
    Thank you.
    GM

    Thank you for your reply. I was reading on the metalink that we could use the to call the java script from oracle Forms 10g (Doc ID 265863.1)
    Example:
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("http://www.oracle.com","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,"));self.close()','_blank');
    I tried it but it did not open the any window as it claims. Am I missing anything? Is there any IE related setting which I need to modify for the above to work?
