Oracle Forms in Fusion application

Hi all
I am new to fusion apps
I just wanted to know whether Fusion does support Oracle forms.
As per my knowledge Fusion does not have any oracle forms.
Please let me know if there is any document related to the above information
Thanks
Mandar

Yes, Oracle Forms/Reports is now part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMw) 11g bundle. Unfortunately, you must install Oracle WebLogic Server in order to install FMw, even if you are installing on a developer workstation.

Oracle Forms: Build Internet Applications correct configuration

I want to study for the Oracle Forms: Build Internet application exam (IZ0-141) is this exam specified by oracle versions? Forms for 9i looks a little different that forms for 10g. If it is for 9i the download for Oracle9i Application Server is no longer available, neither is the database version. I want the setup a practice lab for the exam and I want to make sure I am using the correct configuration and that the exam is not go to refer to items that is no longer available.
Thanks!

Thanks for reply yogesh.
Actually I am looking for some basic tutorial of Forms developer. I never use that before. I haven't found which tools/package I can use to create forms. where is OC4J located?
what can OTN help on the preparing of IZ0- 141 exam? I found a course on Oracle website for that, But its price is $4,000 CDN, which I can't afford. I really want a book related to the course.
Thanks,

Getting Logged on User'Information in an Oracle-Form SSO Partner Application

Hi.
I could run Flight-of Fancy Application and capture user's information by calling the
"Parse_cookie " Procedure.(use the Scenario 2 - Access the Portal and then the FOF App)
and defined an Oracle-Form application as Partner application like FOF.
I want to have Logged on user'Information in the "Oracle-Form" . But the Fucntion owa_cookie.get dosen't work correctly.please let me know what can I do ?
Thanks in advanced.

Thanks in advanced. If you're writing your own partner application, then you are correct to get the user information from the output variables
from the parse_url_cookie procedure. You should then set the information you want to keep track of in the cookie, or combination
of cookie and persistent storage in the database. Take care of the security implications while doing this.
On subsequent calls to your application, the user info should be obtained from the cookie and the database, if you
are using a combination of the cookie and database storage to keep your info.
The owa_cookie.get routine is used to read the cookie, which is generated with owa_cookie.send.
These routines work fine, when invoked correctly.
If you are having trouble with them, you're probably not using the calls properly.
The following code provides an example of how to use the owa_cookie calls...
create or replace package testcookie
is
    procedure show (p_name IN VARCHAR2);
    procedure send
        p_name    IN VARCHAR2,
        p_value   IN VARCHAR2,
        p_path    IN VARCHAR2 default null,
        p_expires IN VARCHAR2 default null
end testcookie;
show error package testcookie
create or replace package body testcookie is
    procedure show (p_name IN VARCHAR2) is
        v_cookie owa_cookie.cookie;
    begin
        v_cookie := owa_cookie.get(upper(p_name));
        htp.htmlopen;
        htp.bodyopen;
        htp.print(v_cookie.vals(1));
        htp.bodyclose;

    exception
        when others then
            htp.htmlopen;
            htp.bodyopen;
            htp.print('NO COOKIE FOUND.');
            htp.print(SQLERRM);
            htp.bodyclose;
            htp.htmlclose;
    end;
    procedure send

How to debug oracle forms 4.5 application

Ww have an application which is behaving badly. We have no documentation on it ,nor any source code. It seems to be written in Oracle forms 4.5 ( of which I know little) . There is an applications directory with about 100 files ,all with ending .fmx . these look like forms config files. I really want to find out what queries this app is sending and what it is receiving. Is there any way to decompile this application to get the source ?
Thanks

The FMX files are the compiled forms code, the executables. Without their FMB files you have no chance of getting at the Forms source.
You could try to find out what queries they are issuing by finding the sessions (V$SESSION.PROGRAM should allow you to identify the sessions that connect through Forms) and thus the queries (through Userid to V$SQLAREA).
However, without the source code there's not much you can actually do about it.
Cheers, APC

Performance questions in Oracle Forms/Reports of Application Server 10g

Hello.
I have a dual Xeon 2.6 computer with 3 GB of memory and 6 GB of cache, running RedHat EL 3 with Oracle AS 10g (9.0.4.0.0).
Application Server is used to run some applications created with forms, and it generates several reports, but the forms are also used as a front end to another Oracle Database (Oracle 7.0, runing in Sun Solaris 5.6).
I've notested (and also my users) the application is getting very slow (is running in a dual Xeon, with 2 Gbit nics, in a 3 Gb backbone).
The speed (or lack of it) is most noted when the forms are generating the reports (it used to be fast - 2 seconds) and now it can take up to 5 minutes.
The AS 10g, when generating the reports, almost all of the querys go to the other server (in Solaris) and the results return to the server, and then the report is generated. The network has no problems (at least, that i know of), and the network performance is not an issue - both the servers are connected to a Gbit switch.
Can someone may have an ideia of it can be?
even in the clients, when running the forms application, the transition of the several menus is slow, and it used to be more fast.
the 10g is using Java Jinitiator 1.3.18. Can it be from that ? i'm not certain, but i could say this things start happen when we upgraded the jinitiator from 1.3.13 to 1.3.18...
My users are really getting on my nervers and i cant do nothing, because they have reason...
any help would be appreciated !
Cheers
Bruno Santos

Bruno, did you solve the performance problem? I'm experiencing the same lack of speed.

Can APEX be used to replace an Oracle Forms 4.5 Application?

Hi,
I have an old Oracle 4.5 application that I need to quickly rewrite since the old environment will be decommissioned real soon. It is using a 9i database that will be upgraded to 10g.
The application consist mainly of about 14 forms and it is strictly data-entry only. I was thinking about using Oracle ADF or JAVA but it seems like quite alot of wrong and APEX looks like it could save me some work.
Is there a download for the tool that I am missing. I did download the zip file apex_2.2.zip but I do not see a actual tool included. Sorry for asking this dumb question but do I need to have my DBA do something with this zip file or am I missing something.
I checked and I see some SQL scripts, do these need to be run first to setup the tool. I looked at the demo presentation online and it looks like there is a tool in browser that I can use.
Sorry for the dumb question, but thanks for the help

Hello Mario,
At the unzip location of apex_2.2.zip, you should go to the doc/install.22 directory. You'll find there a very detailed installation guide, which will tell you, and your DBA, everything you need to know about the installation and configuration actions you need to take, prior, during and post installation. This is a very important document, and you should follow it to the letter.
BTW, you don't need to install any earlier version, from any companion CD, especially if your company already using OHS/IAS, as Jes mentioned. The Apex 2.2 version in your zip file is a full version, and you can install it directely. I'm guessing Farhan meant that it can be easier for inexperienced user to use the companion cd to install both the Oracle HTTP Server and Apex, but experience DBA can install each component separately, using the versions your company own/using.
Regards,
Arie.

Migrating an Oracle Forms 4.5 application from Windows Server 2000 to 2003

We are upgrading a number of servers from Windows Server 2000 to Windows Server 2003 (Standard Edition, R2). Can we re-install Forms 4.5 on 2003 and what is involved. If not, what can we do.
Kind regards,
Malcolm

Forms 4.5 has been desupported way before Windows 2003 was ever available. So, you can be sure that Forms 4.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. You could give it a try, but you could very well run into problems.

How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
Thanks
Luksh

I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

Forms 6i based application compatibility with Oracle Lite 10g

My client is currently using an Oracle Forms 6i based application (together with a Jinitiator)
in an application deployed to 50 countries using Oracle Lite 9i as the Mobile Application Server and Oracle 8i as the database.
We are considering an update to Oracle 10g database and 10g Rel 3 mobile application server.
Can anyone advise on the impact of such an application on the Forms 6i application and if there is a recommended process for the upgrade of the forms application?

do you mean the OAS 10g Rel. 3 ? That application server has no forms-component. Only the Rel.2
Your Forms 6i is certified against 10g databases with patch 17 and 18. Download them from the metalink.oracle.com
