Personal Oracle 8i and forms 6

I have installed Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.7) on my lap top. Then I installed Forms 6i.
(Pls Note : Forms Installed in another Oracle Home)
Now The Problem :-
When I try to connect forms to the DB I get the following error message.
ORA:12154: TNS could not resolve service name.
How can I correct this problem?
Any help will be much appreciated.
p.s. Where can I download a copy of forms 6i.

Hey Arunraj,
In this case you want to open the tnsnames.ora file in the db home (found in something like c:\oracle\ora81\network\admin) with notepad (be sure "Always open this file type w/ this app." is deselected). Your looking for the info that was created when you installed and created your db. It'll look something like:
SULLIVAN.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = c1862668-a)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = sullivan.world)
Copy and paste this into the tnsnames.ora file found in your Forms home. Anytime you create a new db and need forms to find it you can do this.

  • 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

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Forms 6i on personal Oracle 8i and polite 8i

    Hi,
    Does anyone have a clue about the reason I cant get to run forms 6i on personal Oracle 8i or polite 8. I keep getting an error saying no listner, althou I dont need a listner when I am using single machine. same seting was working on polite 8 and forms 6. I can run sql plus 8 fine on same machine. Please respond to my email. thanks

    Forms 6 does need a listener to eb able to talk to Oracle 8i even though they are on the same machine. This is because they reside in different Oracle homes and cannot 'see' each other. The listener should be started automatically with Oracle 8i, make sure you have a TNSNAMES entry for the 8i database in your Forms Net8 Oracle Home (probably ORANT or ORAWIN9x - not sure about Windows 2000!).

  • Connecting Personal Oracle 8i and Developer

    Hi
    The following works for me.
    The critical files required are tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora and listener.ora.
    Put sqlnet.ora, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora in the ORACLE\ORA81\NETWORK\ADMIN directory.
    Put sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora in the
    ORAWIN95\NETWORK directory.
    The following are how the files should look.
    This is assuming the PO 8I installation defaults were taken (SID is ORCL, and GLOBAL DATABASE NAME is ORACLE).
    Listener.ora file:

    Create a shortcut for listener (C:\Oracle\Ora81\BIN\LSNRCTL.EXE).
    Start developer.
    Start PO 8i.
    Start Listener and enter "start".
    You should now be able to connect to Oracle
    from Developer using scott/tiger and using oracle as the database name.

    Hi.
    I too had problems getting Developer 6 to connect to Personal Oracle 8 on Windows 98.
    Thanks to the information Jim posted I am now able to connect.
    I followed Jim's instructions with three exceptions.
    First exception - On my machine the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora file belong in the ORAWIN95\NET80 directory rather than ORAWIN95\NETWORK directory.
    Second exception -- Personal Oracle 8 was installed in C:\ORA81 rather than C:\ORACLE\ORA81 so I adjusted pathnames as needed.
    Third exception -- I made backup copies of the sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora, and listener.ora files that the installation had created before I started editing them.
    My first attempt to start the listener failed with TNS-01152 message which indicated that the addresses provided to listener were not valid.
    I replaced the listener.ora file in my C:\ORA81\NETWORK\ADMIN directory with the one that the installation had created then attempted to start the listener again.
    The listener started successfully. I attempted to connect from Developer6 using scott/tiger@oracle. Developer6 connected!
    Here is what my listern.ora file looks like:
    # LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: # C:\ora81\network\admin\listener.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =

    (PROTOCOL_STACK =
    (PRESENTATION = GIOP)
    (SESSION = RAW)
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = i8q4v6)(PORT = 2481))

  • 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.

  • 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.
