Performance of WEB enabling ( Converting to Oracle 8i and Forms 6i)

We are working on a project to convert a forms 4.5 and Oracle 7.3.4 application to a web based app ( Oracle 8i and Forms 6i). I want to know if there will be a performance hit (improve or decrease) as a result of this.
Please help

Satish - concerned about your statement that you have not used in in production but you think its not the good. If you can quantify your statement I will address is.
As for Bobs points - check out http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?id=836060
This probably addresses Bobs concerns.
If you are concerned - take a look at the testimonials. Go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms and click on the Testimonials link.
Believe it or not we actually have people who are running FASTER on the Web - How can that be!!! - well the reason is that the have uses on slow links - when running client server there database access is across these links and since they had database intensive application they found it could be slow. On the web the data trasfer between the app server and the database was on a fast link and the client (who are still on the slow link) are getting only screen draw information which is alot less than the database traffic.
Hope this helps

Oracle 10gR2 and Forms 6i Combination

One of my company's division after suffering skill gap for many years decided finally to turn their system under my care. This means more work for me but it would be a welcome change since it will give back some exposure from my past life using SQLForms, CDE and Designer 2000 etc.
As a prerequisite I got involved to provide technical direction to a project to "modernize" their system with the "almost" current version that is still supported or "almost" supported by Oracle.
My question is this : ( In reference to Note 229929.1 Stating that Oracle 10GR2 and Form 6i combo is not supported as a combination ( because Form 6i is already desupported ) Is there anyone here have that combination running on production ?
Was there any problem ?
At the back of my mind I am very confident that I can make this combination work .
It would be useful if someone can confirm this combo. (ie 10gR2 and Forms 6i).
You may ask "Why not go with the latest ? ".This was for many reasons. I don't want to introduce shocking changes to the developers (they are already behind on technology and skillset), also Forms 6i is still Client-server which where they want to remain at the moment. The project was given a very short time to convert the system.
Introducing a new architecture will definitely introduce more task than these guys can handle in such short period.
Feedback for any real life experience on this combo is appreciated .
Thanks in advance.

Is there any difference in oracle database and forms database

i want to know is there any difference in oracle database and forms 6i database
,if i import some file through oracle database then same data will exist in forms database or not
thanks

Oracle Forms is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool not a database. With Forms, you connect to an Oracle database to query and display data from the database as well as insert new or update existing data. Consequently, if exists in the database - you should be able to display it in a Form.

I want to install Oracle 8i and forms 6i on xp

I want to install Oracle 8i and forms 6i on xp. Kindly give me a complete step by step file, so that i can know before installation......
Thanks

Get into a time machine and go back about 20 years. ;-)
You are asking about something hopefully no one has done for a decade ... installing desupported software on a desupported database on a desupported operating system on, perhaps, some antique server.
Perhaps someone else kept their notes from back in the Jurassic period but mine were in a recycle bin many many years ago.
If you really wish to do this I suspect you are going to be stuck doing it the way we did back then ... read the docs accompanying the installation files.

Migration steps in oracle reports and forms

Hi,
I want to migrate oracle reports and oracle forms from its curent versions to 10G.
current versions:
Oracle Report : 2.5
Oracle Forms : 4.5
any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi,
there is the forms upgrade center on OTN. There is a lot of information about upgrading of forms. ou can find it here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html.
The way is (to my knowledge), go from 4.5 to 6i and then to 10g.
On the page you also find a link for Oracle Reports.
If you have more questions, I think you should ask your questions in the Forms Forum: Forms or in the Reports Forum: Reports There are the experts on the topic.

Web Reporting - Converting HTML to PDF and displaying

Does any know of a method to convert the html data stream to a PDF format so it may be returned to the browser for printing?

i created an Help Service which can convert the current Web Application State to Pdf and it displays it automatical in the browser window. Charts and all the other stuff is also converted.
This is only on-top of a complex PDF Framework which offers features you request for example.
Batch support. Load balancing. Stylesheet support. Report Books. There are Convenience Classes in ABAP which support Template ID in PDF-Bytestream out. Sent PDF as mail. publish to Portal. Information Broadcasting integration etc.
the advatnage of this solution is that the conversion is performed on the Server and not on the client which means you need only one license, and not for each client...
i hope this helps.
best regards.

Integrating Web Services Manager with Oracle Portal and SSO

Hi,
I wanted to throw this out there and make sure I was on the right track and also if somebody can point me to some resources online that might help. Basically, we have OWSM acting as a Gateway securing some web services. Oracle Portal is integrated w/ Oracle SSO (as well as using OID). What is the best way to pass the credentials to the OWSM from the Portal for authentication purposes? I believe using SAML voucher token is the way to go, but I'm not positive. Has anybody done this before and if so, what methodology did you use? I'm assuming since using SSO, we don't necessary want to also pass in the password.
Thanks,
Nathan

I have noticed that nobody has same kind of situation and this is not intresting question. Still we have same problem and I have heard many oracle employee saing that this behaviour is wanted situation. In our kind of virtual host enviroment it would be nice to choose behaviour of Single-sign-on server and I request oracle support to find out ways to enable this option... I would be pleased if some oracle development would say opinion about this mater. Waiting for ideas.

Can you enable both Windows Based Authentication and Forms Based Authenication for the same web application?

Hello Community
    In WS2012 and SharePoint 2013 Server is it possible when creating a
web application to enable both Windows Based Authentication/Negotiate
(Kerberos) and enable Forms Based Authentication or does the web application
use either one or the other?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Yes , you can use dual authentication on same web application. You can use same web application , at OOB login page you will have option to use windows or form login.
Or you can extend your web application to a new web app and configure extended web application to use Form Based Authentication(Note extended web application will also show same content database , so the content will same only url will be different)

Problems Post installation - Oracle 8i and Forms 6i

Hello,
This is with respect to the two issues I am encountering in Oracle. Kindly somebody help with these issues as it is urgent.
PLEASE GO THROUGH EACH AND EVERY POINT BEFORE ARRIVING AT A CONCLUSION
1. With the Post Oracle database installation
2. Oracle forms connectivity to the Oracle database (FORMS WAS INSTALLED PRIOR TO ORACLE INSTALLATION)
I will start with the 1st issue (Post Oracle database installation)
Steps A01
1. I unistalled an existing version 8.1.7 using the steps mentioned in the following link (http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/ManualOracleUninstall.php)
2. I chose typical installation (default, all the rest of installation methods were default)
3. Gave SID as ORCL_DB
4. Created database by installation
5. connected to SYS using default password - no problem
6. Created another user usr01 and granted necessary privileges Was able to logon to the database using usr01. No problem
But if I do a restart of the machine and then I am encountering an error ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist after which I am unable to connect to the database.
##### (PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM ABLE TO CONNECT TO ORACLE FOR THE FIRST TIME WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE ERROR IS THROWN IF WE REBOOT THE MACHINE AND TRY TO CONNECT TO ORACLE) ###
The steps I tried to troubleshoot this
a. Checked the oracle network admin directory. All the config files are there (TNSNAMES.ORA, SQLNET.ORA, LISTNER.ORA)
b. did a tnsping
c:\tnsping ORCL_DB
NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. GETTING OK FOR THE PING
c. Checked the oracle registries.
Could find all these entries have the correct value:
ORACLE_HOME - C:\ORACLE
ORACLE_SID - ORCL_DB
ORACLE_BASE - c:\oracle
There were no extra slash or extra character with the registry entries.
Now the the post forms installation scenario
Steps A02 (FORMS WAS INSTALLED PRIOR TO ORACLE INSTALLATION)
1. Installed forms (directory c:\orant)
Steps A03
1. Copied the contents tnsnames.ora file entries from oracle\network\admin directory to the orant\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora file
2. Tried to connect to oracle forms (user : usr01, database : ORCL_DB).
Got error : ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
3. Created an environment variable : tns_admin with value c:/oracle/network/admin. Tried to connect again
Now getting another error : unable to connect to the destination : ora-12203 (unable to connect to destination)
I have installed forms and oracle in separate directories. Can somebody help to resolve these issues?
Thanks in advance
Chanaya

Password expirtation in Oracle 8i and Forms 6i - URGENT please.

Hi,
We are trying to implement password security features available in Oracle 8i.
We created the profile, and assigned it to a user. The user's password will expire soon.
If I login as that user to through SQL+, user gets an ORA-28001 error message "the account will expire soon, change your password now" and is able to login to the database still. However if I try to logon as that user through Forms Builder or Forms runtime, the same error message comes up, but the user does not get connected. The Logon screen stays there and the user can not do anything. How can we make it work the same was as it does in SQL+? (To give the error and still allow the user to log in to the database so that they can change their password).
Thank you very much for any help.

hI,
I have the problem backward!
I created a profile then assigned it to the user, then I launched the apps thr the browser, it worked prompting the message "...password will expire in 3 days..."
Now I reassigned the Default profile back to the user which does not expire the password, launched the apps again it still prompted that password warning message! I even deleted the profile that was first created, still got the warning.
I tried to do it alter user in SqlPlus but not able to connect to database using the same System account as Sysdba (used to connect in Enterprise Console successfully), received error :Insufficient Privileges.
What is wrong ? Thanks.
