Patching Oracle Forms 6i

Hi All
Can someone please help me, I have Oracle Forms version 6i R2 installed on a Windows XP 32 bit machine, currently this is how it is: Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.8.0
I would like to patch up to: Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.20.1
Can someone please point me to the right direction on how to search for this using Metalink. Basically I just need the patch number.
Any kind of help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

If not the developer but the 6i client/server runtime only (which is free) you need, I have a bzip2 file for Linux and Sparc Solaris (sorry no Windows version), that includes the patchset 18 and the 10gR2 instant client's sqlplus (for xquery support). It is a tar.bz2 file and around 250mb - anyone wants it, I can put it into their ftp site - sorry no gets ;) Again, this is for client/server runtime only - no web stuff or development modules, documents, etc. It is a lean/mean client/server custom runtime environment for 6i Forms on Linux and Sparc clients. It has been tested (for years) against 8.1.7.4, 9i (first, second editions) and 10g (R1, R2 and XE) - it is for 32 bit but also runs under 64 bit (it includes missing linux/sparc libraries from 32bit). I offered this to Oracle folks years ago to be distributed from OTN but they said, they can not officially support it, therefore can not be distributed via OTN - which makes sense.

Running oracle form builder 10g in windows 7 64 bit

i am working in windows 7 64 bit
oracle db 11g enterprise edition 11.2.0.10 64 bit
form builder 10.12.0.2 32 bit
my default browser is Google Chrome
i have java 6 standard edition 1.6.0_34
when i am trying to run any form this message appear " java (TM) is required to display some elements in this page"
what can i do to run those forms?

You can also refer to this OTN reference:
Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Certification Matrix
Other comments:
1. I would not recommend using Forms 10.1.2.0 with Oracle DB 11.2.x. Patching Oracle Forms to 10.1.2.3 would be recommended. Using version Forms 11 would be better.
2. Attempting to use the Developer Tools on Windows 7 is not a great idea although it can be made to work. Developer Suite 10 is no longer supported and was never really intended for use on Win7. Again, patching to 10.1.2.3 is recommended and required if you plan to follow the Oracle instructions and certifications.
3. Installing the Forms Builder (Developer Suite) on Win7-64bit is not at all certified and was never supported.
4. Using Java 7 was not certified and therefore not supported for use with Forms 10.x
In general, Forms 10.1.2.x has been desupported. Customer using this version or older should be working on a migration plan for getting to the latest supported version which is 11.1.2.1.

Calling From Oracle Forms 11g patch set 2(11.1.1.3.0) to Oracle Reports 1

Hi
While calling From Oracle Forms 11g patch set 2(11.1.1.3.0) to Oracle Reports 11g patch set 2(11.1.1.3.0) I found unable to run report error
But its finely working in 10g. The Place of error is in find_report_object
Is any solution to resolve this problem like any registry setting or patches to solve this problem
Please guide me
Regards
Murali N S

I was able to download it from this link:
[http://download-llnw.oracle.com/otn/java/jdeveloper/11.1.1.3.0/jdevstudio11113install.exe]
on the general 11g Fusion download page at:

Although the site does appear to be having problems. I got intermittent errors of the page/server not being available.

Oracle Forms Patch 10 for 8i

Does Oracle Forms Patch 10 apply to Oracle 8i or do you have to be on 9i? Also, does applying patch 10, catch you up on all previous patches (1-9)?.

The latest Forms 6i patch is 12. It is not 8, 8i or 9i specific. You need to check the related certification matrix and review the patch readme file to find out if the fixed bugs valid for your platform/configuration. For example, if you are running Forms 6i against a 9.2 database, the only certified 6i patch is 12.
The patches are cumulative - patch 12 includes previous patch fixes.
hope this proves useful

Oracle Forms Server 6i Patch set 11

Hi,
Can any body send me patch set 11 for oracle forms server 6i? I need it to test deploment in XP.
Take care,
Tarek

Unfortunately, patch 11 will not certify XP. Patch 12 might, but it is not promised. There are some issues with XP which are out of the control of the Forms group. It has to do with the 8.0.6 RSFs so we are all waiting for those issues to be resolved.

Installing Patch 18 on Oracle Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.11.3

I have Oracle Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.11.3 (Production) installed on Windows 7 64bit. It crashes abruptly with message "Oracle Forms Designer has stopped working". Google search showed to install Patch 18 for windows which may or may not solve the problem since its not certified with 64bit OS.
I tried to install Patch 18 and if I choose existing Forms 6i installation it stops saying "C:\Oracle\Forms6i is already used as an Oracle home for nt(1). It cannot be used as an Oracle home for nt". Installing in a new home didn't upgrade the Forms 6.0.8.11.3 to next level.
Any help regarding its installation or steps would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

If you know the patch number, search for the same on Metalink.

Oracle Forms Patch 10 or 11 - Where on metalink

Has anyone tried to download patch 10 or 11 for Oracle Forms Developer (I have Forms6i Release 2)from the Metalink site? I am trying to get the patch number, note number or the right area to access metalink in order to download the patch. If anyone has done this, please point me in the right direction. I am trying to get the right link in Metalink but getting nowhere!
Thanks a lot,

How to improve performance of Oracle Forms Server ?

Recently we converted our Application which was Developed in Forms 5.0 and Reports 3.0 into Forms6i to host that on to Web. We also loaded ORACLE 9iAS (on Windows NT 4 with service pack 3) from "Enterprise Edition" option by selecting Oracle Database Cache, Forms Server and Reports Server, HTTP Server(on port 80),Oracle Web Cache. Everything loaded succesfully including Caches.
Forms server is working perfectly and we were able to run our Application in Browser, but performance is the issue. We thought the caches will improve the performance, but it seems they are not at all working. When we run a report or form the Database cache is not giving any statistics whether a particular Query is a Hit or Miss though the cache is running. We got a doubt and searched in FAQ's and we found the following questions.
Oracle9iAS Web Cache Frequently Asked
Questions February 2001
Does Oracle9iAS Web Cache work with applications that use Oracle9iAS Forms?
Not in the 1.x release of Oracle9iAS. Integration between Oracle9iAS Web Cache and Oracle9iAS Forms will be addressed at a future date.
Oracle9iAS Database Cache
Does the Cache work with Oracle Forms and Portal in Oracle9i AS?
Since Oracle Forms and Portal utilize read/write PL/SQL stored procedures, these components cannot take advantage of the Cache. This support is being considered for a future version.
After coming to know that Caches doesnot boost the performance of Oracle Forms and reports. We have the following queries.
1) Clarify whether the above are True.
2) Apart from DB and Web Cache is there any other way where in we can improve the performance of Oracle Forms and Reports in Forms Server including the start up time.
3) What is the ideal configuration required for each tier (iAS Server,Database Server and Client) to host Forms on to Web considering our application as Medium scale.
(Presently our configuration are,
Application Server Configuration : Windows NT 4 with service pack 3,256 MB RAM,1 GB Virtual memory and 4GB free space and almost the same configuration is being used for
Database Configuration.
Client Configuration : Windows 98 with 64MB RAM).
4) Is there any way to track the performance and know the problem areas like TRACE.
Gopi Kumar

A couple of questions for you:
1) What version of IAS are you using?
2) What's the version of Forms&Reports and
3) What version of patch are you using if any
for forms&Reports?
4) What applications are you running on the
machine where Forms&Reports is installed?
(I mean non-Oracle applications?)
The problem could be that, the base addresses
of the DLL's in Forms&Reports could be having base address conflicts with some other application's DLL's.
Forms and Reports needs to be fully rebased to achieve full performance on NT. Before release of Forms and Reports, Oracle rebases all DLLs. Rebasing assigns unique base addresses to all of the DLL's in use by an executable. A properly based DLL will load at its preferred base address, greatly improving the efficiency of memory utilization and the runtime performance of the executable.
Multiple utilities are available on NT to verify proper rebasing of DLLs. HandleEx v4.0 is one such freeware from Sysinternals and is available at www.sysinternals.com. Some others are "depends.exe" that's part of the MS Visual Studio or msinfo32.exe that comes with Office 2000 on NT.
If after running any of these utilities you discover that the DLL's ar not properly rebased, you need to contact Oracle worldwide support.
If you find that rebasing is not the problem, then please post your feedback again. Hope this helps.

Oracle forms 10g (win Xp middle tier IE 8 Win 7- IE 8 client)

forms services 10.1.2.0.2
Database 11gR2 also on Win Xp pro SP3
Hi
I have a problem with java and Jinitiator and my understanding of what is / should be happening.
In the file forms/server/formsweb.cfg see below. I can alter the parameter
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
###baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
between the two alternatives. As it stands as shown the IE8 on the middle tier and on the database PC both work as near correctly as i can tell. On the Win 7 client IE 8 however crashes. switch it to the other way around and the
win 7 works and the win xp on the database server stops with frm-92095 error version number too low. while on the middle tier Xp PC a blank doucument is displayed.
How can i have both working at the same time please. I you need more information i will happily supply it.

You have a mixture of problems here.
1. Oracle Jinitiator is not supported for use on Windows 7
2. JRE 1.7 is not supported for use with any version of Forms on any platform. Be sure you do not have this version installed.
3. JRE 1.6 is not supported for use with Forms 10.1.2.0.2, however is supported with 10.1.2.3 (10.1.2.0.2 + patch ID 5983622) and only with IE 8
4. In order to use Win 7 with Forms 10 in a certified and supported manner, you must use 10.1.2.3 (meaning 10.1.2.0.2 + patch ID 5983622).
In short, my recommendation would be the following:
o Patch to 10.1.2.3 (assuming you have access to MyOracleSupport)
o Don't bother trying to use Oracle Jinitiator as it is old and has been desupported for a long time.
o Uninstall any instances of Jinitiator as it can cause conflicts with other JRE installations.
o Uninstall all instances of JRE 1.7. Reconfig your formsweb.cfg to use the JRE (Java Plugin) 1.6.0

Unable to get Windows User Name using Oracle Forms 6i, Jinitiator 1.3.1.17

Hi,
Requirement: Get Windows User Name using Oracle Web Forms 6i.
Tools Using: Windows NT, Oracle web forms 6i, Oracle 10g DB.
Description: I am using GetClientInfo JBean from otn.oracle.com, which gets windows user name, IP address and machine name. The demo I got from oracle web site uses Jinitiator version 1.1.7.18. While we are using the latest version Jinitiator 1.3.1.17. Due to this reason, I am unable to use Javakey which comes with older version but doesn't come with newer version, that's why I can't create the new JavaBean Java identity (PJC).
Please advise what to do. All environment variables are set everything is done, this is the only thing bothering me.
I went through the article 202768.1 from metalink, but on step 5, it gives an error keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 Certificate.
Also, please let me know if there is any other workaround for this requirement.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

Hi,
Thanks for your kind reply. Actually there was a problem in creating a certificate, now it is okay with the same method. Certificate got imported on client and everything is ready.
Now, the problem is when I try to set Bean Area Implementation Class property with oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo, it gives an error FRM-13008 Cannot find JavaBean with name 'oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo'.
I went through the articles 1072329.6, 196824.1, and set ClassPath and Path variables with proper values. Also, I have copied jar file and signature file in forms60/java folder. I don't see any problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. My limitation is that I have to do all this in forms6i.
I searched forums on metalink and found out that someone installed Patch 15, and everything went okay for him. Do you think I should install Patch 15? if YES, how will I do it, I mean should I first uninstall my forms and then install patch15 or install the patch on my forms?
Thanks so much for your help.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

Field selection problem in Oracle Forms

I am using an application created in Oracle 6i Forms (patch 11).
Mouse navigation in the forms do not work properly.
Since a field is selected and some string is typed then first character is always ignored hence it is necessary to press a key like before typing required string.
I'm using Java VM 1.4.1 on client-side,
The same application works well when I'm using Oracle JInitiator.
does anybody know how to work around the problem ?
thanks

Hi, again and thanks for the patience. I am using the oracle plugin all the time and it works. But I need to use the application on different computer where the oracle JInitiator could not be installed. There I am trying to use the Sun Java Plugin Version 1.4.2_06 (build 1.4.2_06-b03) which shall be compatible. Since last time I asked again the provider and I found that the application is pure Oracle Forms 9i application which doesn't need Java when it is run on the computer where the application is instaled. The Java plugin is then used to show the forms and to provide the comunication between clients and application server. Probably it is clear to you however I am not a developer but poor user only. I have also tried to play with the application to find how it works (or doesn't works). It seems that the problem is exactly with mouse navigation. When tab or enter is used then it works fine. But when a form field is selected by mouse then a character is typed and i can see it. But when I continue with the writing the first character is overwrite. Sometimes when there is a list of records row by row and I try to get to next row using the mouse the application tells me that some bloody key is not valid but using the key down I can easily go ti next row. To tell the truth I don't like mouses at all so it is no problem to me but other users do not know how Tab works :-)

JRE.exe error in Oracle Forms 6i

Anyone who encountered this error before and managed to solved the problem please assist me.
I'm using Oracle Forms 6i Release XP taken from OTN download page installed in a Pentium 4 computer with Windows XP as an OS.
Thank you

Raymond,
not sure if anybody has tested the Forms6i base release on XP, certification came with patch 13. maybe thats the origin of your problem.
