Oracle Forms 9i and Oracle RDBMS 8

Hi,
Can anyone tell me whether Oracle Forms 9i will work against an Oracle 8 database?
We have an older version of Oracle Forms (Oracle Developer 6i) that I could also try against Oracle 8 but I'm concerned about conflicts with on the client-side with Oracle Enterprise Manager 9i and Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g (I have these installed already).
My organization does NOT intend to upgrade the Oracle 8 production database to a newer release. And yes, we have Oracle 9i and 10g RDMBS in production as well.
Thanks.

I, too, am a little confused. I will be loading Oracle 9i DB Personal Edition on to a Windows XP Professional, Pentium IV. I read in forums that 9i Personal is certified for this particular system whereas 6i Personal Edition is not. Is Forms and Reports 6i certified for XP Professional? If so, can I run 6i w/ the 9i Personal Edition? I am considering purchasing Oracle 9i Developer Suite, but only if it is certified for XP Pro and 6i isn't.
Please advise.

  • License for Oracle Forms 6i and Oracle Reports 6i

    Hai there,
    May I know if I can buy a license for 2 users for the development tools Forms 6i and Reports 6i.
    How do I go ahead and buy the license on line. Where do I contact.
    Please give me the details.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please be aware that this version of Forms is desupported in one months time.
    You can download the software from otn but you should contact your Oracle Account Manager about licensing.

  • How can I uninstall a damaged installation of Fusion - PFRD 11.1.1.6.0 - Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

    Hello,
    I am upgrading EBS 11i to 12i, Discoverer 4 to 11. After completing ebs installation and upgrade successfully, I am now working on the Oracle Fusion piece of the upgrade.
    I have installed
    1. JDK
    2. Repository Creation Utility - RCU (schema)
    3. Weblogic - WLS 10.3.6
    4. Oracle Fusion - Discoverer 11g Release 1 Patchset 1 11.1.1.2.0 PFRD
    5. Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patchset 11.1.1.6.0 - Patchset 13517084
    6. Executed config.sh and it failed with but continued.
         During the Configuration of Oracle Fusion with config.sh there was failure at with "fails at creating data sources" and accidentally proceeded and all seem to go well until after shutting down the servers when Weblogic Managed Server is unable to start.
    The start log indicated: "weblogic.store.PersistentStoreFatalException: [Store:280105]The persistent file store "_WLS_WLS_DISCO" cannot open file _WLS_WLS_DISCO000000.DAT." and I have been unable to find a solution for this error?
    See log file error at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15497130/oracle/ebs11/startManagedWebLogic.sh_nohup.out
    If re-installation is my only option, then what are the steps to uninstall, and which components do I have to uninstall given that I had upgraded all the schemas involved?
    Mathias

    Hey,
    You can always change the JDBC datasources in the Weblogic admin console . but have you recorded what is the specific error you got during the datasources creation .
    I prefer...create a new user , give him sysdba privillages . Start RCU and create the DEV_DISCOVERER , DEV_DISCOVERER_PS schemas (prefix is your choice)
    The Admin server will start . so go to admin console .
    click services -> Data Sources
    Check the data sources you have . edit each datasource and update the connection pool information .
    after this you can start the Managed server WLS_DISCO
    i believe this will solve this .........
    if you still get issue again . you can try the link Using the WebLogic Persistent Store
    Thanks

  • Install and config issues with Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

    For a while now I've been struggling with migrating a testing database to a newer version.
    And right now I'm pretty much stuck at trying to configure Oracle Portal, Forms Reports and Discoverer
    What I've got:
    Windows server 2008 R2 64bit
    Oracle 11g database
    Java 6u27 64bit
    JDK 1.6 64bit (using this after 1.7 ended up throwing out bugs while trying to start a weblogic server)
    JDK 1.7 64bit
    Weblogic 10.3.5 (or so i think - I've installed from the wls1035_generic.jar from the oracle website)
    PFRD 11.1.1.2 with 11.1.1.3 installed over it, installed without config
    and a hanging up configuration
    Basically I've been trying to install PFRD (only forms, reports and enterprise manager from it actually) but it kept failing once it got to the configuration stage, so I installed without config, applied 11.1.1.3 and now trying to run the config manually with the good old \bin\config.bat
    Result - the config froze for approx.18 hours then failed
    There isn't much useful info I could deduct from the logs, mostly just says one or more configuration parts failed. At one place it mentions trying to set up a domain and starting up an adminserver for it - and apparently that's where it hangs up and finally times out and fails.
    I'm a little clueless what to do about it as the logs don't say anything else of use I could understand. Any ideas there?

    Trying the step by step, the only difference between that and what i do seems to be the file copying (which I can't do - there is no windows\extra\ directory anywhere, the files mentionned seem to already be on their places and either only there, or exactly the same) and clistering
    So far the news ain't good - the config process hangs on creating domain ->Step Creating Domain started
    It isn't frozen per se - the process doesn't use up any processor time, memory consumption within bounds, it reacts to button clicks and all..it just doesn't do anything concerning the said domain
    the last thing the .out file shows:
    Creating a new AdminServer Object ...
    AdminServer port is 7002
    Starting the domain ...

    I'm kinda paranoid about the double backslash in the dll path, but other than that no clue as to why the domain doesn't set up
    the other link you mentionned seems to have no relevance yet
    does that clear up anything for you though?
    ..can the lack of SOA suite have anything to do with the problem?

    Since your weblogic is on version 10.3.3, you can only succesfully configure your fusion middleware when you are on version 11.1.1.3.
    So (1) restart the install of fusion middleware 11.1.1.2, (2) choose install type INSTALL ONLY, (3) start installation of fusion middleware 11.1.1.3 and finally (4) configure fusion middleware using AS_ORACLE_HOME\bin\config.bat

  • Help in Installing Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer(11.1.1.2.0)

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Linux x86-64.
    I have installed weblogic 10.3.5 generic jar file.

    Please help me installing portal and reports.
    Is there any patch i am missing or the weblogic version is incorrect?
    Thanks.

    You cannot configure Fmw 11.1.1.2 against WLS 10.3.5. They are not supported nor compatible.
    If you want to use WLS 10.3.5, you need to "install" 11.1.1.2, but do not configure. That is an installation option. After you have successfully installed 11.1.1.2 you will need to patch it to 11.1.1.6. After patching, you then can run the configuration (config.bat).
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/install.1111/e10421/install.htm#CLINS256
    Version 11 is far more complex than previous versions. I strongly encourage everyone to review the product documentation before trying to install. You can also refer to the following MyOracleSupport note:

    Your early help will be highly appreciated.
    thanks and regards

    You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
    In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
    First look for this link then drill into it:
    Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
    In this section you will find the following:

    This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6.  This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch

    please tell me which is the right option?Ideally, you should have two separate server machines.
    One for the database server.
    One for the Application Server.
    The Application Server is basically used for hosting your forms and reports, so you dont have to place the forms and reports on the developer PC or at any other server.

  • 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.

  • Implementing Forms look and feel into oracle 10g

    hello, im using oracle 10.1.2.0.2
    i've been trying to implement this look and feel project hours ago here are the steps that i followed:
    # Copy the corresponding JAR file to your /forms/java directory. [copied it to C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\ and renamed it to laf.jar like mentioned in http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=693024 but copied also laf_1012.jar  ]
    # Update your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file.
    As it needs the Sun Java Plug-in instead of the Oracle JInitiator, you have to create a special section that uses the Sun Plug-in.
    You also need to add the corresponding JAR file to the archive tag (not the archive_jini). [modified it to archive=frmall.jar,laf.jar, laf_1012.jar, i didnt know what to do with the Sun Java Plug-in but when i debug and run the oracle there is an icon that shows the java icon launched]
    # Copy the forms.css file somewhere on your disk (by default, it is searched in the C:/ root directory). [done and i've put it in c:\]
    # Compile the laf.pll PL/SQL library, then copy the pll.plx to one of the directories pointed by the FORMS_PATH variable.
    *i've put the laf.pll in my C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms as shown in the FORMS_PATH of the default.env

  • Separate User for Oracle RDBMS and EM Agent...

    Good Day All,
    Has anyone here deployed the EM Agent (10.2 or 11.1) as it's own user? For example, leave the Oracle RDBMS binaries owned by "oracle" but install the EM Agent as "oagent."
    I inquired with Oracle Support and I've received the "it is possible and done in some environments" but I want to know how many folks have done it, how large of a target base are you monitoring, and what target types have you tried. We are using a mixed RHEL & OEL environment.
    Our goal is to separate the installation and support of the EM Agents from the RDBMS by team. I think we would want to have a shared Linux group... there might be some issues with the Inventory and writing to it by separate owners but we should be able to get around that.
    Thoughts?
    TIA!
    Regards,
    Rich

    Thanks for the response!
    Besides central inventory, do you know of any other issues we might have with this configuration? Have you implemented this to monitor targets such as Linux hosts, Listeners, RDBMS, WebLogic, iAS, Peoplesoft, Siebel, etc?
    Regards,
    Rich

    I have more then half decent results with webcache as load balancer, but it still is a round robin (as mentioned before). This means that a session will not be transfered from one application server to the other once the session has been created.
    So far I did not discover any benefits of a hardware loadbalancer over webcache, because (here it is again:) you are not able to transfer open sessions from one application server to the next. This has to do with the Oracle Forms architecture. In fact it is still client-server, only with the application server functioning as extra server ;)

  • Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer 11G

    Good evening
    I installed the following products
    * Oracle Database(to the 1st computer)
    * Repository Creation Utility
    * WebLogic Server(to the 2nd computer)
    * Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer 11G(to the 2nd computer) – during installation I chose forms and reports
    Identity Management and SSO are not installed, why they are used for?
    While connecting to the base with the help of Visard I open Oracle Forms Builder by and create a primitive form. Everything is good. All are shown. I press Run Form which is written as Oracle Forms in browser and suggests keeping a clear file. Particularly in applied file!
    Print screen of my monitor yo can see: http://www.sql.ru/forum/actualthread.aspx?tid=678852
    Thanks for attention.

    Thanks for attention.the port which you have mentioned is it WLS_FORMS_PORT or any other.
    Try running default Forms port WLS_FORMS_PORT that will be 9001
    or check for the WLS_FORMS_PORT in the portlist.ini file.
    Also are you getting any exception in the Java console.?

  • Oracle Forms Look and Feel project for Forms 6i

    Hello everybody,

    Oracle Forms Look and Feel project
    http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/forms-pjc-bean/LAF/doc/Oracle_Forms_Look_and_Feel_project.htm
    Can I use the PL/SQL library (laf.pll) , Java Beans and PJCs grouped in a jar file (laf.jar) for Oracle Forms 6i?
    thx

    Hi Francois,
    I find one website mention the following,
    "PL/SQL tables reside in the private PL/SQL area of the Oracle Server database instance; they are not available as client-side structures at this time. As a result, you cannot declare and manipulate PL/SQL tables in your Oracle Developer/2000 environment."
    from http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/oracle/prog2/ch10_01.htm#SQL2-CH-10-SECT-1

  • Forms 6i and Oracle XE Production

    Hello,
    I need some help here. I know that forms6i is not supported any more, but Forms 6i Patchset 17 worked with Oracle XE Beta.
    Now, that the production version is available, it seems not to work. I cannot connect to the database.
    I have tried to recplace the oci.dll from db home to forms home, but still does not work. Please, if anyone can help me!

    I can't get this to work on my developers laptop.
    Forms6i was installed and then XE last. Patch 17 was applied to Forms
    C:\orant\NET80\ADMIN updated with the XE entry.
    C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\network\admin
    I commented out the SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) in the SQLNET.ORA file
    I restarted the listener for XE and then tried to connect to the database via forms builder and SQLPLUS80
    ORA-12571: TNS packet writer failure
    I turned on tracing for XE and tried to connect via forms builder again. The same 12571 was displayed and in the log file there was an ORA-12502 TNS:listener received no CONNECT_DATA from client
    The XE version is Western. One thing I did note is that the Forms NLS_LANG registry entry is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE81508859P1 while the XE NLS_LANG registry entry is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
    Potential Issues: Windows Media Center Version 2002 SP 2
    McAffee Security Center including Firewall (he isn't willing to un-install). I have try to disable the firewall and even shutdown McAffee altogether but nothing is working on that front.
    Looking for some direction on where to look and try next.
